Campus Mentors: A New Clinical Practice Model for Teacher Education
Wasburn-Moses, Leah
School-University Partnerships, v7 n2 p108-112 2014
Campus Mentors is a unique new partnership between a school district and a local university created to benefit both pre-service teachers and students at risk. The model is an on-campus alternative school targeting youth at risk. It is effective, cost-efficient, and mutually beneficial. Data collected over three years indicate a positive impact on both teacher candidates and participating high school students. This article outlines the background behind the model, describes the model and its outcomes, and provides information on plans for the growth of the project.
